The different letters indicates the significant difference on the level of P < 0.05. CA, amount of water consumption; CP, percentage of CA to total water consumption; CD, daily water consumption. Different normal letters after the same column of numbers indicate that different sowing rates have significant differences at the level of 0.05 (LSD test). Different capital letters after the same column of numbers indicate that different years have significant differences at the level of 0.05 (LSD test). * Significant at the 0.05 probability level. **Significant at the 0.01 probability level.
